Strategies
Allergic processes
to improve the condition
of the allergy sufferer
What is an allergy?
IT IS IMPORTANT:
Allergies are processes caused by the body
releasing histamine when it comes into contact
with a substance that acts as an allergen. This
substance can reach the body in different ways: :
1 To relieve the symptoms.
• Inhalation, like dust mites, pollen...
• Contact with
substances.
different
materials
or
• Oral or parenteral, as with certain food or
medication.
What are the symptoms?
They affect the airways and/or the skin.
• Airways. It causes rhinorrhoea (runny nose),
blocked nose, sneezes, cough and in severe
cases, asthma. Generally accompanied by
watering eyes. The airways are affected mainly
when the allergen is inhaled.
• Skin. It becomes reddened, inflamed, itchy...
These symptoms are typical of allergies through
contact. In very severe cases both types of
symptoms can be combined, and can even cause
anaphylactic shock.
2 To limit the release of histamine.
It is important to improve the physical condition of
the allergy sufferer, so they can carry on with their
life as normally as possible.
There are a lot of substances that act as allergens,
causing the release of histamine, the substance
responsible for the typical allergy symptoms.
The
most
common
allergies
appear,
unquestionably, in spring, caused by the high
concentration of pollen in the air. This concentration
is at its highest on a sunny day following one or
several rainy days. These allergies generally
cause symptoms affecting the airways.
If we can alleviate these symptoms while the
antihistamine takes effect, the physical condition
of the allergy sufferer will improve a lot.
The vegetable kingdom offers plants which, when
combined, can help to make life a bit easier for
allergy sufferers. However, these plants are not
substitutes for treatment with bronchodilators,
corticoids, or other medication used in severe
cases of asthma.
